Hunts are as fun as always, but the monster riding and tower defense sections just rubbed me the wrong way entirely

Story/characters are bland, but the action, stealth and ballistics are incredible.

FANTASTIC indy mod. New gamemodes feel right at home and the artstyle is beautiful and uncompromised. Keep up the good work! VF4 please add 48 player servers back into the rotation );

Story, atmosphere, characters, liberty city, all unforgettable.

Story was a touch long winded, and some characters and jokes overstayed their welcomes from time to time. Sad that this game's online mode took over the world and has an eternal hold on rockstar's production teams.

Dark, atmospheric, janky, and full of memorable characters that would only be further elevated by its sequel.

At times the story is moving beyond words, western done right through and through. One of the most polished games ever made.
Moment to moment gameplay can leave something to be desired, sometimes it feels like we're trapped in the same kind of world as GTA IV's from a decade earlier.

hilarious fun w friends

Iconic music and visuals. Story is just ambiguous and sparse enough to keep the gameplay refreshing and unrelenting. The controls on mouse and keyboard make my brain hurt. Please listen when they say "twin stick shooter" its best with a controller

Man both these games were made with the same ingredients, but for hotline two it feels like the sous chef accidentally dumped half a shaker of salt in the pot. The levels have some level of variety, yet feel more tiresome and unfair than even the most brutal from hotline 1

Sometimes the dice roll mechanics mess up encounters such that I feel the need to save scum. That is my only critique.
Everything else here is top notch, this is perhaps the best written game I have ever played. Nothing is as it seems and every character, every story, every little detail in the world is worth obsessing over to some degree.

Good zombie killing fun bundled together with one of the most fun freeflow parkcour gameplay loops on the market. Don't come for the story or characters.

The developers are extremely active, this game is unrecognizable from year to year, so it is difficult to speak about the gameplay here. As of 2024, the parkcour has been refined to the point of being the best in the AAA sphere in my opinion. The zombie fighting is visceral and fun, while the human combat is unwieldy and tiresome.
The story and characters, however have always been lackluster.

Probably one of the most fun, nerdiest, roguelite out there. Easy to learn but difficult to master, this game can be punishing but the charm and fast paced decision making kept me coming back till it was finished

Enjoyable FPS rougelite. Kind of barebones but the game mechanics and characters make for some great run variety
